    A lot of people log this in as circuit training for about 23 minutes. I was doing this for the first week or so before I got my heart rate monitor and found out how much MFP over estimates your calories burned! It was saying I was burning around 330 calories and my heart rate monitor averages between 230-260. But it also totally depends on the effort you put in. Yesterday I started level 2 and did it without the volume (I wanted to listen to my own workout music!). Since it was my first day and I didn't really know what I was doing, I burned 237 calories. Today I listened to Jillian for the little tips she gives and put much more effort into it since I knew more what I was doing and burned 296 calories- far more than I ever burned on level 1! Although I do think level two is a teensy bit easier. Maybe.

    I will try that after...I do my 30ds. Any idea how much calories burned while doing the levels? Idk if I should go walking after the work out or if it's enough?

    I typically burn between 380 - 430 calories. I have a HRM that I wear during my workout. It gives me an accurate count of calories burned. You can get one pretty cheap on ebay with a chest strap. I paid $30 for mine with the chest strap. I use it for all of my workouts.

    I just started it today! And at this point, I'm thinking level 1 is good. I got my workout on today. Yeah. Love it.

    I often use Shred if I can't get to the gym, it's quick and convenient. I recently increased the weights and it was like starting all over! I have some of her other DVD's as well and find them all quite challenging.

    I just started on Saturday but have only done it for 3 days so far. I'm determined to stick at it after hearing such great reviews and seeing such amazing results with other people :)

    i love 30ds, doing it daily but alternating levels so i dont get as sore doing exactly the same exercises everyday, keeps things interesting too =D

    I think level 2 is way harder then level 1. I can do level 1 so easily.

    I started it on Sunday and have done 2 days of Level 1. I'm not able to do it everyday (missed yesterday) due to work, family and other exercise commitments so it will probably take me about 6 weeks to complete. I don't think there should be any pressure to progress through the levels. Just see how you feel after 10 days of level 1, try level 2 and if it is too hard, continue with level 1 for a while longer!

    On day 1 of level 1 I burned 222 cals and on day 2 it was 169 cals. There's no harm in going for a walk before or afterwards. I did a 5 km run before I started it lol

    Day 2 completed. I found it much harder than yesterday, but thats because some of my muscles were a bit sore, so its a good sign!

    So glad I did it. I got home and thought I just couldn't be bothered as I was too tired, but pushed myself and feel much better for it now.
